I think a Tale of Years of the First Age (and including from the creation of Arda) is indispensable. Because Tolkien gave so much importance to the cronologies and the geography. But of course without invent anything.
The only Tale of years we have is that of WotJ/Annals. And I think it could be adapted with material from NoME in the way I said two years ago. Erasing every mention to the 9.8 or 144 SY for each VY. The inverosimilitude of some events woul be evitent. But if it's taken as Mannish tradition it would be 'explainable'.
Well, it is an opinion.

Greetings
